Overview

  • Paige Bueckers makes her first professional appearance in Connecticut at Mohegan Sun Arena, where she went 15–0 playing for UConn.
  • Both the Dallas Wings and Connecticut Sun enter Tuesday’s game with 0–4 records, extending Dallas’s overall losing streak to 13 games dating back to last season.
  • Bueckers leads Dallas with averages of 13 points, 6.3 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game as the Wings navigate a rebuild under coach Chris Koclanes.
  • Veteran forward Myisha Hines-Allen is listed as questionable with an ankle issue, a potential blow to Dallas’s frontcourt depth.
  • Connecticut has reconfigured its lineup after losing its entire starting five in the offseason and leans on Tina Charles, who tops the Sun with 14.5 points per game.
